Storm First Practice
GraceAnne's CYO team had their first practice on Wed nite. It was great to see all the girls together out on the floor again working as a team!
Looks like coach is going to run some simplified variation of a dribble drive motion offense in the halfcourt. Had the girls in a set where the floor was spread in a 5 out and the guards attacked the seams. Great offense for ball handlers, jump shooters and point guards that have good decision making abilities. Very little to no post play and very little screening, no pick and roll, all these things clog up the middle. We'll see if this is where we are going but if so the function of the bigs becomes cleaning up (which is what it has been up until now) and receiving dump passes from penetrating guards that can't get to the rim. Kinda a weird offense when we have two of the best bigs we have seen anywhere but we'll have to see. We'll have to find some other way for GraceAnne to develop her post play if this is the case. Been looking around for someone that trains bigs but haven't really had any luck up until now.
Grace will be attending a Pursuit Beyond Basketball clinic in Newtown CT on Columbus Day weekend. We're going to make it into a family getaway which should be fun! Prime fall colors season in that part of CT so hopefully we can do some pumpkin and apple picking, see the sights.
